The heavy-duty bed incorporates South Bend Lathe's signature 3 V-way and 1flat way design, which assures precision alignment of the headstock, tailstock and saddle

The ways are induction hardened and precision ground to perfection

Meehanite bed castings.

Two T-slots are machined into the rear of the cross slide for mounting tooling or fixtures

Removable chip tray for ease of clean-up.

Tailstock with inch/metric graduated quill and tang knock-out slot

Centralized lubrication pump for bed-ways and cross slide

Dual-reading inch/metric dials on the cross feed and compound

Full length, rear mounted splash guard

Lockable main disconnect switch

Constant surface speed function included (speed changes automatically when you move cross-slide). This is a very good feature when you are taking off a lot of material as you do not have to figure out a new speed as the part becomes smaller in diameter.
